Is it possible to organize a backup DHCP server on the same network using the same config?

There is a network with a DHCP server based on dhcpd from the CentOS 7 box. Is it possible to organize in parallel the same DHCP server that will serve the same network during the temporary shutdown of the main server?
Is there a kit out of the box to organize such a redundant server and tighten the configuration of another DHCP server? (so as not to write a monitor daemon as a crutch).
This is in case the client is so dumb (like mobile devices) that it constantly polls DHCP every time it connects, even if it already has cached IP settings.

There are two options - set up failover on isc dhcp - https://habrahabr.ru/post/323984/
Install kea dhcp and set up a common database of releases on postgres/mysql - then no failover is needed, two servers will respond at once, but will only confirm one. A full failover is expected in version 1.4
